Photographer's Note

Steam train of Dampfbahn Furka-Bergstrecke (Furka Cogwheel Steam Railway) entering one of the tunnels betwee Realp and Tiefenbach. This railway line was part of Furka-Oberalp-Bahn and Glacier Express route until 1982 when Furka Base Tunnel was opened to allow year round operations. The old high level line was left redundant until heritage railway started operations in 1992.

I see during summer time everyday a steam train in my area, also specially for tourists.
What a nice picture taken out of the driving train.
Also the arch is a nice addition.
Composition and presentation are superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Hello Kari,
It's a nice composition of the old style train entering the tunnel. I hope the persons taking photos didn't lean too far out of the windows. You got a better photo than any of them, but maybe someone behind you got an even better.
Regards,
Gert

most of our contemporaries have forgotten that entering a tunnel with a steam engine in front and open windows (or standing on an open platform) inevitably means soot and dirt...
But I also like the old Furka Railway!

Hello Kari,
Beautiful with the little curve of the railroad right before entering the tunnel.
Good combination of the locomotive, some wagons and a piece of the nature where the train rides through.
Good capture of the escaping steam.
Excellent clarity and sharpness.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Kari,
You clearly weren't the only one trying to get a photo just before the train would disappear into the tunnel. The curve of the old train is very appealing in the composition and the light was fine too.

What an interesting shot!
I bet you enjoyed this!
It's a beautifully composed scene, with lead lines, perspective and colours contrasts.
I think you got a better shot than the other photographers, for you have them included in your shot, where they add scale and perspective.

Very nice perspective, and you got it just before going into that tunnel, which makes the composition much more interesting! The detail of the other photographers on the windows is great! Very good light and colors! Wonderful job!
